So far, so bad!

(Except for the unanimous decision by the Parliament against the attack on Mumbai, nothing seemed to have gone right from the National political standpoint.)

Be it R.R.Patil's "Chota-chota" comments, Mr.Deshmukh's "terror" tourism or Shivraj Patil's incoherent press conferences, all of these acts have attracted the same "Resignation" command from the Congress Hi-command. Thanks to Rane-Chauhan drama, perhaps the Maharastra media is slowly forgetting the Mumbai terror attacks for the time being.

Even BJP's demeanor didnt fare well. Firstly, the following day after the attacks, Mumbai's streets were filled with "Shraddhanjali" posters by almost all parties, majorly BJP and ShivSena. But what is really disturbing about it is that all the 'political Shraddhanjali' posters carried their Party's and sponsor's names, perhaps even dominating the apparent intention they were meant for. During some of the post-mortem press conferences of the recent elections, one of the senior BJP spokesman was stating that perhaps they haven't cashed on the 'Terrorism issue'. As long as they see Terrorism as yet another 'issue' to get an election-win, it really doesnt matter who really holds the sceptre.

But, we have finally witnessed a unanimous Parliament on one issue in the beginning of this Winter session. Proposal of stronger laws, establishment of federal agency and anti-terrorism schools was received well by NDA too. We will have to wait and see whether any positive action is taken, or is it yet another rhetoric of politicians.
